Moravec, John. Who are knowmads?. Education Futures, 22 Aug. 2018, https://educationfutures.com/blog/post/knowmads-definition. Accessed 27 Jan. 2024.
A knowmad is a nomadic knowledge worker who is creative, imaginative, innovative, and who can work with almost anybody, anytime, and anywhere. Knowmads are valued for their individual-level knowledge, and create new value by applying what they know, contextually, to solve problems or generate new opportunities.
Knowmads can work within the core of organizations (as team members) or outside of them (as freelancers or consultants), and they are able to switch from job-to-job as needs change.
Moravec wrote a first definition back in 2008, Knowmads in Society 3.0.
